I understand I am just half way through this processes, and I also understand the “hard part” is something I still have no concept of, but I want to share with you the best advice I have received up to this point. This way the future mothers out there will know it ahead of time and I will get the pleasure of passing it along to you.
Maternity Clothes! Early and Often!
Yes it may seem simple, mundane, obvious, and not so “best advice” material as you might have thought, but trust me.
My first run in with maternity clothes and their awesomeness: My girl-friend, Martha, got pregnant a few years ago and told me how wonderful maternity pants were. “Elastic waist on cute jeans,” I remember her saying “why don’t they do this with regular clothes!?” Seems like a good enough reason to me!
Second run in: My neighbor just had a baby in June, and told me “as soon as your regular clothes don’t fit, buy yourself maternity clothes.” She told me not to mess with the uncomfortable bella band. Her reasoning: This is the one time in your life when you are experiencing something ultimately feminine. You want to be cute, comfortable, and glowing. If you’re walking around in sweats the whole time you’re not going to be cute or particularly glowing. If you’re comfortable you’re not happy! Maternity clothes also grow with you. You can buy them early and use them through out the whole pregnancy. They are also more affordable then you might think http://www.oldnavy.com/!!
Don't wait, don't think you're buying them too early, don't worry about what other people think or suggest, do it for you and your comfort!
So there you have it, the best advice I can give you as a potential pregnant, glowing, strong, confident women. Maternity Clothes early and often!
